The rustling green of the leaves of the dark fruit and the fruity amplitude of the classic roses formed the basis of the idea that Desmond Knox-Leet, Diptyque's self-taught "nose", rushed to develop. One of Diptyque's cult eaux de toilette, the result of a happy stroke of chance and the collaboration of the three Diptyque creators and a British friend. Dido Merwin developed precious fragrant blends of dried flowers for the store at 34 Boulevard Saint Germain. One day as she was in her shady garden picking blackcurrants for making jelly and roses for bouquets, she was enchanted by the scent of this unusual combination.

The very botanical, very green sap of the blackcurrant leaves are fused with bergamot and mandarin to temper the leaf note. Fresh, crisp Damask roses flourish and arouse the senses. This floral bouquet takes on delicate persistence and roundness with a bottom note of ambergris and musks. This scent was created in 1983.
